Specification o Application filed January 11, 1919. Serial No.` 270,618.

To all 'whom t may concern." Y

Be it known that I, RACHEL CoornnMAN, a subjectof the King of Roumania,and a resident of the city of Chicago, county of Cook, and State ofIllinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ties, ofwhich the following is a spec-icae tion.

My invention relates in general to im# provements in ties of the typewhich are provided with means for attaching thesa'me to the collar whenin use.

More specifically one of the objects of the invention is the productionof a tie fastener which will be of durable and economical constructionand efficient in use. e

Other objects will appearl hereinafter.

The invention consists in the features of novelty in substantially thecombination and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanyingdrawings forming a part of this specification, and in which,

Figure 1, is a perspective view of a conventional form of collar towhich is applied a tie embodying the invention,

Fig. 2, a horizontal section through the front portion of the collarshowing the application thereto of the tie,

Fig. 3, a central vertical section of the construction seen in Fig. 2,and

Fig. 4, a perspective view of the tie fastener.

The preferred form ofy construction, as illustrated in the drawings,embodies a bow tie 5 of conventional design, the same being embracedmedially of its ends by a band 6.

Arranged at the back of the tie is a clasp or fastener for securing thesame to a collar. This clasp or fastener embodies a pair of elongatedsuperposed spring metal members 7 and 8 which are of bowed formation,one of which is preferably more resilient than the other, the endsthereof forming coperating jaws adapted to embrace the adjacent frontedges of an ordinary collar 9 in order to secure the tie thereto, asclearly seen in Fig. 2.

The parts 7 and 8 of the fastener are united together at their centersby means of a pair of ears 10 formed at the upper and lower edges of themember 8, and are bent back into engagement with recesses 11 formed inthe member 7. With this arf Letters Patent.

Pateneeanee. 16g; i919'.

rangement it will be seen that said members 7 and 8 will be rigidlyconnected together, the same being positively held against any relativeshifting movement.

The fastener thus formed is secured to the tie by means of stitching 12,which is adapted to embrace the fastener at'the points of location ofthe ears 10. Formed on'the upper and the lower edge of member 8at-opposite sides of the ears 10 arespaced projections 13, which engagewith the stitchinglQ to securely hold' the 4fastener against anyrelative shifting movement, it being clear that, with thelconstruction-set forth, re` cesses-are formed kadjacent opposite edges of thefastener between,Y the vprojections 13 directly over the flanged ears10, and at the center of the fastener, which recesses will serve tosecurely hold the stitching and thus prevent any relative shifting ofthe fastener. Moreover, the projections 13 engage with adjacent portionsof the tie to further aid in holding the fastener in proper relationwith the tie.

The construction set forth is extremely simple and permits ofapplication of the fastener to the tie with great expedition.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred form ofconstruction for carrying my invention into effect, this is capable ofvariation and modification without departing from the spirit of theinvention.

I, therefore, do not wish to be limited to the precise details ofconstruction set forth, but desire to avail myself of such variationsand modifications as come within the scope of the appended claims.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new and .desire to secureby Letters Patent is 1. The combination with a tie, of a holder thereforembodying an elongated member arranged at the back of the tie; meansembracing said member for securing the same to said tie; and a pair ofspaced projections at the upper and lower edges of said mem-v berbetween which said securing means engages for confining said securingmeans centrally of the holder.

2. The combination with a tie, of a holder therefor embodying anelongated member arranged at the back of the tie; stitching embracingsaid member for securing the same to the tie; and a pair of spacedprojections at the upper and lower edges of said member between whichsaid stitching engages for confining said stitching cenv trally of theholder.

3. The combination Withatie', of'aholder" therefor embodying a pair ofelongatedy cation of said ears for secuningzthesame to the tie; andprojections on one ofsaid members at opposite sides of saidearsengaging` said securing means for confining; the securing meansCentrally ofI the holder.V

4. A necktie fastener. embodying a pair of elongated superposed; members:shaped to form diverging extremities, one of said members being moreresilient than thefother member, ears formed on the opposite edges ofone of the members .intermediate its ends, said earsfbeing,flanged-Jover tl'iezrespeetive adjacent edges of lthe other member forse,-
